Madeira Panoramico

"We had a wonderful weeks stay at this lovely hotel! We had arrived after the buffet restaurant had closed but the lovely man on reception quickly organised for us to have a 3 course meal at the a la carte restaurant which was absolutely delicious and very welcome after travelling all day. Afterward our meal we went to our room and were very pleased. It was spotlessly clean and spacious. As it was a special occasion my husband had arranged for sparkling wine and a fruit platter and it was there waiting for us! Our view from our balcony was just stunning! A wonderful vista of Funchal and the mountains. Regarding the previous review about the 'noise' please ignore it! The 'noise' was a local festival and it was lovely to sit on our balcony and listen to it. It did finish at midnight but if you did want to go to bed earlier once you had shut the balcony doors and turned on the air conditioning you couldn't hear anything! It was only on over the weekend anyway. And the band was the evening entertainment that finished at 10pm!! We were half board and thought the breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and the evening meal was also excellent. There is a beautiful outside terrace to enjoy your meals if the weather is nice (it was very hot while we were there!) again with stunning views. All the staff were so nice. They all work so hard and are so friendly and cheerful. A special mention to Helena and Raquel who were amazing. Also the female maitre de who I didn't get her name. But a big thankyou to all the staff for helping in making it such a special holiday. There is a small supermarket a 10 minute walk up the hill which was useful for snacks and the hotel shuttle bus was easy to use with the drop off/pick up outside the CR7 museum. We did use Bolt taxis to get around too which was quick and easy. The pool area is lovely and there was always free sunbeds. We loved this hotel! As its name implies it has the most amazing views and we enjoyed being just slightly outside the hustle and bustle of Funchal. It was QUIET, peaceful and totally relaxing!"

"Having booked a room with a sea view I hoped to relax in the evening on my balcony with a book. The last three nights I have been bombarded a noise which is indescribable un til midnight from a festival in a very close vicinity, tonight. Monday we have a band performing directly beneath our balcony, bear this In mind if you consider booking this hotel!"

"Very good stay with my 2 children, Hotel with 2 separate buildings Lots of services (2 pools, jacuzzi, fitness room...) but some are paid (a shame, like tennis). The shuttle to the center of Funchal is a great service, free of charge Varied breakfast, but it feels a bit like a factory given the number of rooms. A la carte restaurant to try, very friendly staff and refined and tasty cuisine, competitive prices in my opinion. The only "hiccup": I had requested a quiet room, it overlooked the bar terrace with noise until late. Earplugs recommended for those sensitive to noise like me."
